Chapter 1255 Blacklisted
He never expected that the person who snatched his private room would be Old Master Su. This was practically slapping him in the face.
Old Master Su took a breath and smiled, "Of course, we're eating here!"
"You aren't the ones who stole my private room, are you?" Zhao Guozhong asked suspiciously, as if he had just understood something.
"I don't know. I only know that the people from the Yellow Crane Grand Hotel invited us to eat here. As for stealing your private room, I'm not aware of it," Old Master Su replied truthfully.
Zhao Guozhong suddenly looked at the manager beside him and asked, "Manager, you actually drove away Zhao Guozhong for this group of people. Are you blind?"
"I..." A manager would not dare to offend Zhao Guozhong. He was scolded by Zhao Guozhong, but he could not say a word.
"Hurry up and call your boss!" Zhao Guozhong said furiously.
"Sorry, our boss is not available." The manager found an excuse to try and get away with it.
"Slap!" Although Zhao Guozhong was not young, his temper was still fiery, and he was vicious when he resorted to violence. He slapped the manager, sending him tumbling.
"Oh my, our boss is really not available. I'm truly sorry..."
"Are you going to call or not? If you don't, I'll kick you to death now!" As he spoke, Zhao Guozhong raised his leg.
The manager was startled, his face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and said not a word. It seemed he was not going to tell the truth.
"It seems you're looking for death, so don't blame me for being impolite!" Zhao Guozhong raised his leg to kick.
But at this moment, a cold shout suddenly rang out, "Enough!" Chen Xuan rushed forward and stopped Zhao Guozhong.
"You son-in-law of the Vermillion Bird lineage dare to stop me? Are you seeking death?" Zhao Guozhong coldly shouted.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Zhao Guozhong, aren't you looking for the boss? Why trouble a subordinate? I'll call him for you."
"You'll call? Who do you think you are? Can you call him over?" Zhao Guozhong said with utter disdain.
However, to Zhao Guozhong's shocked eyes, Chen Xuan took out his business card and called Huo Du.
A moment later, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Huo Du rushed over frantically. As soon as he entered, he apologized to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I'm truly sorry. It was my fault for not handling this properly and disturbing you!"
Zhao Guozhong was stunned and couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan again. He didn't expect Chen Xuan to actually call someone over.
"You handle this matter," Chen Xuan said calmly and returned to his seat to eat.
"I'll handle it," Huo Du said quickly.
Zhao Guozhong loudly questioned, "Young master Huo, what do you mean by this? Why did you give the private room I booked to the Vermillion Bird lineage? Don't you understand the rules?"
Huo Du, who was also a troublemaker in the past, naturally wasn't afraid of Zhao Guozhong.
"What kind of thing is your Zhao family? You are worthy of eating in our Emperor's Private Room. I'm telling you today, from today onwards, the Zhao family is blacklisted by our Huo family. All hotels under the Huo family are strictly forbidden for Zhao family members to dine in."
"You..." Zhao Guozhong's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. More than half of the high-end hotels in the capital were under the Huo family's name. This meant that more than half of the high-end hotels were off-limits for dining and lodging.
"Escort them out!" Huo Du said, and several security guards immediately rushed forward and escorted Zhao Guozhong and his group out.
Zhao Guozhong was driven out in front of Old Master Su, losing all face. As he was dragged out, his face was filled with unwillingness and anger, but more than anything, it was humiliation! Many years ago, he had suffered a setback in front of Old Master Su, and after many years, he still suffered a setback in front of Old Master Su!
After the Zhao family was driven away, Huo Du also quickly took his leave. The private room finally became quiet.
"Come, let's toast!" Old Master Su, in great spirits, stood up. Zhao Guozhong being rebuffed and kicked out was definitely a cause for great satisfaction.
"Cheers!" The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, accompanied by cheers and laughter.
"Chen Xuan, do you know the Huo family?" After eating some food, Old Master Su looked at Chen Xuan and asked with a smile.
"How could he possibly know the Huo family? He's only been in the capital for a few days?" Jiang Biyun said suspiciously.
"Let Chen Xuan speak." Old Master Su interrupted Jiang Biyun.
"We only met a few days ago, but I did them a small favor, so we have some acquaintance," Chen Xuan said briefly.
"A small favor? A small favor that made the young master of the Huo family drive away that old man Zhao Guozhong?" Old Master Su, being a shrewd person, said with a chuckle. Clearly, this was likely more than just a small matter. He was very curious. His son-in-law from the Vermillion Bird lineage, in the provincial city, had eliminated the four major families and led three major business associations and two martial arts factions within a year. He thought Chen Xuan's progress in the capital would be slow, but he didn't expect him to get acquainted with the Huo family in such a short time. Although the Huo family wasn't large, they were still giants in the capital's catering industry, which was considered a perfect start. Su Yunxi, sitting beside them, also sighed. Chen Xuan was like a cactus in the desert, extremely adaptable, able to grow in dense rainforests and deserts alike. Chen Xuan laughed and didn't say anything, quickly pouring a glass of wine for Old Master Su.
"Chen Xuan, come, I, this old man, will toast you." Old Master Su raised his wine glass.
"Grandpa, you're too kind. It should be me toasting you." Chen Xuan also quickly raised his wine glass and stood up.
"Hahaha, good, good!" Old Master Su was very satisfied with Chen Xuan's humility.
Soon, after finishing the meal, the satisfied Chen Xuan and the others walked out of the Emperor's Private Room and left the Yellow Crane Grand Hotel, seeing them off by Huo Du. At this time, Su Yunxi and the others had already gotten into the car. However, she saw that Chen Xuan was still not preparing to leave. Instead, he was scanning his surroundings with a solemn expression. She couldn't help but frown, "Chen Xuan, what happened? Why aren't you getting in the car?" Chen Xuan was staring at a billboard not far away. Under the billboard stood a grey-robed old man, looking at him with a sinister expression. The palpable killing intent emanating from him was completely undisguised, as if directed at him.
"You guys go back first. I'll be back on my own later," he said, turning to Su Yunxi with a smile after snapping back to attention. Su Yunxi also noticed the grey-robed old man standing under the billboard. She seemed to have realized something and said stubbornly, "Chen Xuan, you must come with me. I can't let you take risks alone!"
"Yunxi, quickly leave this place." Chen Xuan also sensed that the old man's strength was extraordinary, so he quickly urged Su Yunxi to leave. However, Su Yunxi simply didn't listen to explanations and insisted on having Chen Xuan leave with her. Fortunately, Su Yunxi was still quite rational. Under Chen Xuan's persuasion, she agreed to leave first.
But just then, a sinister voice suddenly rang out, "Since you're not leaving, then stay together. I can send you to see Yama together!" Unbeknownst to them, the grey-robed old man who had been standing below the billboard had already appeared not far away. As he got closer, they could clearly see his aged face, which was extremely sinister and made their spines chill.
Jiang Biyun's face turned pale with fright, and Su Yunxi's pupils contracted. Old Master Su, however, remained relatively calm. Old Master Su slowly got out of the car, clasped his fists, and said, "I am from the Vermillion Bird lineage of the Su family in the capital. May I know your esteemed name and surname? And could you possibly grant us some convenience?"
"Tianhai Yi Shan!" The grey-robed old man slowly uttered a few words.
